    Can I just say how much I appreciate starting off learning something that isn't Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or some other nonsense? I feel like I'm actually playing music. This is great, thank you for putting this video up!!

    I know this video is 4 years old, and I don’t know if you will read this, but I my whistle just arrived the other day, and all I accomplished is scaring my dogs out of the room. I can’t wait to try this tomorrow morning when I have the house to myself. Thank you for posting Chris, I will give you an update. Cheers.

Also, your personality is pleasant and you have a kind smile. You helped me learn my first whistle tune this week.
